                                        Good Morning my fellow scrappy friends - 

It's time for my monthly card sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 



This month I'm working with Sketch #208 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap




Another fun card sketch created by Lisa Hidy to work with. The card came together pretty quickly and I was able to use up a few scraps from the previous layout that I was working on. I call that a win! win!
 I can definitely see myself using the sketch again, as it offers sooooo many different possibilities.

Sketch N Scrap - December 15th Layout Sketch Reveal - Sketch # 239 by Lisa Hidy

 Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends - 
It's time for my monthly sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 



This month I'm working with Sketch #239 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap



This sketch was super easy to work with - I just swapped out the flowers for some ephemera pieces that are included in the Echo Park Sweet Baby Boy Line that I used, and the rest of the layout just kinda came together on it's own. 

Journaling reads - 
Funny Story - even after you were born your mom & dad still couldn't agree on a name for you. Now, I can't even imagine us calling you anything other than Harrison Grant.

Stick It Down - December 2021 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Snyder's Family Farm

                      Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @  Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by Laura Rumble. 





I chose to scrap a layout with pictures of my son Garrett from way back in 2012. Apparently I must have attempted to scrap these photos on another occasion, as I'd already cut them into circle shapes and had them matted. . . No earthly clue when I must've done that.  Any woo, they were perfect for this sketch as I just replaced the squares with circles and four pictures instead of three. . . and everything else just fell into place.

Stick It Down - November 2021 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Peace

                       Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @  Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by Laura Rumble. 
The sketch focuses on banners and tags - neither of which I use very often, so this sketch was a REAL Challenge for me this month. . . 




I chose to scrap a layout of my son Garrett, which I don't typically do these days as I find most new lines of papers "too cutesy" for him. So, believe me when I say the struggle is real when I try to scrap "masculine" pages. . . I totally dug deep in my stash for this layout, digging out my remaining papers from the Basic Grey Archaic Line, which totally worked perfect for this layout! 

Picture is of Garrett and his New Friend - the Parasaurolophus taken last Summer  at Clyde Peeling's Reptiland on August 15th, 2020. The kid still loves his dinosaurs, even to this day!

Can you believe it's November already??

This month I chose the November 1st Reveal date @ Sketch N Scrap and I'm super excited to share with you the layout that I created! 




This month I'm working with Sketch #236 by Lisa Hidy



Another fun sketch to work with this month. It was super easy to convert to my smaller scrapping size, and definitely a sketch that I'll be able to use over an over again. I dug pretty deep for the papers & embellishments on this one - Kudos to me for trying to use up some stash! Heck, the paper lines are older than Harrison. 

Journaling reads - 

After just recently having battled a nasty cold, and finally having a day of “nice” weather where it wasn’t sweltering hot, Harrison got to finally enjoy a little outside time playing in the dirt.

Stick It Down - October 2021 Single Page Reveal - Feel Better Little Man

  Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @  Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by Laura Rumble. 
The sketch focuses on hexagons, and I have to admit, I haven't used shapes (other than squares) on my layouts in a really long time. . . Once I picked my papers, the layout came together pretty quickly! 





I chose to scrap a layout of my grandson Harrison with pictures taken just last week. He had (still has some lingering symptoms) his very first really bad cold with coughing, congestion, high fevers,  and rattling in his chest! It really did break this Nana's heart to see him sooooo miserable. 
I'm super glad he's feeling better!

This is another layout using pictures from this Summer when the grandkids were visiting. This particular day we spent it on the lake. Many firsts on this day for Miss Everly. 
Journaling reads - 

Everly enjoying so many “firsts” on the lake today – she’ll even tell you that it was one of her “best days ever”! We absolutely love seeing her smile with pure happiness!

Stick It Down - September 2021 Single Page Reveal - Everly

 Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @  Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using a sketch by Laura Rumble. The sketch required us to use an acrostic poem and I have to admit that in all of my scrapbooking years, I have never done this before. It definitely was super fun, and I'm pretty pleased with my layout!

I chose to scrap a layout of my granddaughter Miss Everly Claire, and used the letters in her first  name for my journaling.


E is for Electrifying, the way you charge the room

V is for Vivacious, you bring color to my life

 E is for Exciting, you're so full of joy.   

 R is for Rose, more beautiful as it unfolds

L is for Laughter, nothing is as infectious as yours 

Y is for Yes, we love you  every day. Every. Single. Day.
